100 Random Favorites [99]

Center Of My World

Chris Young has great singles that have been or are going to the top of the charts. Center Of My World, from his debut album, isn't one of them, but has a catchy melody and a sweet theme and it very well could've been. So without further ado: because sometimes you just want a fuzzy-feeling romantic tune... Give it a shot.

100 Random Favorites [100]

In honor of Keith Urban's birthday...


Being an avid country listener and a huge fan of the genre, I find myself more often than I should, defending the themes and messages in country songs.
"Country? That's nothing but depressing break-up songs..."
Plain and simple, those that say so are wrong. I could list a dozen country songs off the top of my head that promote just the opposite of splitting, breaking up, divorcing, whatever you'd like to call it. There are countless others compiled in the genre proving that stereotype incorrect.
Keith Urban's The Hard Way from his Be Here album is one of them. Not being a single, it's not a song you'll have ever heard on the radio. Sometimes I find that the obscure cuts that never made it to air time are the hidden gems. Have a listen.
